Nosocomial infections are caused and acquired by the people located at the same hospital venue. The spread is due to the airborne dissemination of micro-organisms, involving microbiological factors and the technical facilities (ventilation, fluid networks, arrangement and set-up, and so on). The fight against the spread of nosocomial infections requires a range of scientific (knowledge of the micro-organisms) and technical (fluid circuit control, flow display equipment, work protocols for humans, and so on) skills and expertise.

   
The Teams
A scientific team: LME www.unicaen.fr
A technical team, EMA industrialists and the training-testing centre www.ema-cleansytem.com
   
Equipments
Technical fine-tuning can be done at the training school,
www.pole-de-formation.com
   
Methods
The methods, skills and expertise draw on the experience acquired at the industrial (nuclear, microelectronic, and food-processing) facilities, and transpose it to the hospital environment. The team of industrialists at the EMA group are working with healthcare professionals on the improvements required for a better control of contamination in operating areas. The LME and the LTP also contribute their expertise through 7 people.
